Smith Veterinary Hospital

Fran was with us the whole way beginning with a referral to a breeder (her own breeding program did not have a litter at that time) and through a lifetime of care for our yellow lab Scout, then the final tough decision. Direct, yet caring professional care.

If I could I would give them 10 stars I would.
The staff is friendly, helpful and professional.
They performed way above any of my expectations and I was a brand new client.
My female came into heat earlier than expected. Personal commitments prevented me from getting to Oregon where the stud is located. So my first experience with transcervical AI began. I learned there are progesterone levels to be taken and numbers being looked for so the female is in the best state to receive the semen. Timing is everything! Her levels looked good on Thursday and the Dr. said to collect the semen friday and overnight it for insemination on Saturday. Reproductive Revolutions in Oregon collected and sent the semen over night via FedX.
I checked the package’s where a bouts via the FedX tracker Saturday morning at 7am, it made it to TN by 4:23am.
As I stated earlier I had commitments so I sent my husband to Smith Vet Hospital early morning on Saturday to perform another progesterone level to see if a second pull needs to be done and sent. Also for my female to be inseminated when the semen arrives.
The semen was to arrive between 10 – 10:30am. 11am my husband calls and informs me the package has not yet arrived. I called FedX to find out the package is stuck in TN due to plane mechanical issues. I inform them of the importance of this package to arrive in MN today. Many phone calls later the package was put on a plane and to arrive in Mpls by 6pm and I was told we could pick up the package at the airport at 7pm.
Note: this is now way beyond normal Saturday veterinary hours.
Once I had the package I phoned Dr. Janine Anderson and she and Dr. Frances Smith met us at their hospital. They checked the sperm and all was good. They inseminated my female and we are very hopeful for puppies.
I am beyond grateful to Smith Vet Hospital and recommend them highly!!!
